What’s not so good?

The card undoubtedly offers a favourable package overall when travelling abroad, but the maximum load of £2,500 is not as high as some other cards on the market. It may be worth looking around if that does not suit your spending plans. You also need to be Barclay’s customer to qualify for the card in the first place. Loading options are slightly limited compared to other travel cards as you have to use the specifically assigned Barclays telephone number.
